The Spirit Of Revelation

February 7

"...that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ,
the Father of glory,
may give to you the spirit of wisdom
and REVELATION in the knowledge of Him,
the eyes of your understanding being enlightened;"
Ephesians 1:17-18

The word "revelation" is perhaps the most important Word in the Bible. Our knowledge of God and our relationship to him does not come from our intellect. It comes from revelation.

"He said to them, 'But who do you say that I am?'
Simon Peter answered and said,
'You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.'
Jesus answered and said to him,
'Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah,
for flesh and blood has not REVEALED this to you,
but my Father who is in heaven.'"
Matthew 16:15-17

Peter had walked with Jesus for more than three years, yet it wasn't what he witnessed that led to his confession. Many saw the works Jesus did but were not all saved. Jesus said Peter was blessed because the knowledge of who Christ is came to him by revelation.

Who do YOU say that he is?

If you don't really know, if you have any doubt, then ASK God to reveal this to you.

When praying for loved ones, pray that God REVEAL himself to them. It can ONLY come by revelation.

People can read the Bible from Genesis through The Book of Revelation and get nothing out of it. They'll say it's a historical book. If that's you, ASK for revelation, it's the only way it comes.
